Thanh Tung Tran will be proudly representing Vietnam for the second time at the World Holistic Massage Championship Competition (WHMCC) 2025. A highly respected massage therapist in his home country, Vietnam, he has dedicated more than a decade to the field of traditional medicine, therapeutic massage, and holistic healing practices.
Known for his expertise in Sports Massage, Bamboo Massage, and Taichi Massage, Thanh Tung Tran combines modern techniques with Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage. His signature method, Taichi Massage, integrates gentle Tai Chi movements with traditional healing, creating a holistic approach that promotes circulation, relieves pain, and restores balance between body and mind.
Through his participation, Thanh Tung Tran not only showcases his personal skills but also brings the spirit and traditions of Vietnamese massage therapy to the global stage, highlighting the country’s contribution to the world of holistic wellness.
My name is Thanh Tung Tran. My second visit to Singapore marks not only a return to this vibrant city but also my second time competing in the Holistic Massage World Championship 2025. It is a moment of pride and excitement, as I once again stand among the world’s finest massage therapists to showcase my craft, passion, and the healing traditions of Vietnam.
In the wellness community, my fellow practitioners call me the “Massage Monster.” This nickname is not just about strength—it reflects my tireless energy, relentless commitment, and deep dedication to the art of massage therapy.
With more than five years of professional experience in sports massage, I have worked closely with athletes across Vietnam, supporting their health and recovery as they prepared for major bodybuilding competitions. Many of these athletes went on to achieve remarkable milestones, winning championship titles, gold medals, silver medals, and distinctions in prestigious events such as the NPC (National Bodybuilding Committee) 2025 and ICN (I Compete Naturally). Knowing that my techniques have contributed to their victories fills me with both pride and gratitude.
Now, as I prepare for the Singapore 2025 Holistic Massage World Championship, I see this as both an honor and a challenge—an opportunity to measure myself against the best in the world, while sharing the healing spirit of my homeland. My goal is not just to compete, but to demonstrate expertise, humility, and an unshakable passion for healing.
My massage style is a unique fusion that combines:
-
Deep Tissue Techniques for muscular relief and recovery,
-
Tai Chi-inspired movements for balance, energy flow, and grace,
-
Traditional Vietnamese techniques that reflect centuries of cultural wisdom.
This blend allows me to create a therapy that is both powerful and restorative, aiming to heal not just the body but also the mind and spirit.
Recently, I also completed my performance clip for the GBHC 2025 International Online Massage Video Contest in Japan (submitted around August 6, 2025). That experience gave me a platform to express creativity and refine my technique even further.
Above all, I believe massage is more than physical touch—it is empathy, compassion, and connection. Every treatment I give is rooted in care, ensuring that those who trust me with their well-being feel not only relief but also comfort and renewal.
As I step into the global spotlight once again in Singapore, I carry with me the honor of representing Vietnam, the pride of my students and colleagues, and the drive to prove that with passion, humility, and dedication, healing has no boundaries.
“Massage is the language of care—it speaks where words fall silent, and heals where medicine cannot.”
One of my greatest passions is the development of a unique method I call Taichi Massage. This technique is the result of years of study and practice, blending Tai Chi movements with the healing wisdom of traditional medicine. The approach focuses on muscle groups, meridians, and internal energy, providing not only relaxation but also therapeutic benefits for blood circulation, skin revitalization, pain relief, and overall wellness. It is a holistic treatment designed to support both prevention and healing of disease, bringing balance between body and mind.
At WMCC 2025, I will proudly demonstrate Taichi Massage to the international stage. For me, this is more than just a competition—it is an opportunity to share the soul of Vietnam’s healing heritage with the world. I want to show that massage can be graceful, powerful, and transformative, all at the same time.
Representing my country in this prestigious global championship is both an honor and a responsibility. I am deeply grateful for the support of my mentors, colleagues, students, and everyone who believes in the power of touch and natural healing.
As I step into this international arena, I carry with me the spirit of Vietnam, the wisdom of tradition, and the hope that my work will inspire others to see massage not only as therapy, but as a bridge between cultures, health, and harmony.
“Massage is where energy flows, healing begins, and the human spirit reconnects with balance.”
